Hi
On the other hand civic responsibilities are fulfilled by choice. They are voluntary. Civic duties include, for example, obeying the laws of the country, paying the taxes levied by the government, or serving on a jury or as a witness in court.
Hope this helps!

After having relative prosperity during the second half of the 20th century until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Citizens from Russia experimented relative economic hardship during the rest of the 90s. The government led by Boris Yeltsin was not successful in the transition of the economic model from socialism to open market capitalism.
Then came Vladimir Putin at the beginning of the 21st century. Under his regime, the Russian economy experimented a sustained growth due to the rising prices of oil. Industries like production, construction, real estate, and financial services all grew.
As a consequence of the improvement of the economy, the middle class grew as well as their income. GDP per capita (the amount of money the average Russian gains over a year) sharply rose since the beginning of Putin's regime and is barely reaching $12000 in 2017.
However, the country still fails to score positively in regarding corruption levels and freedom of speech. As the government is constantly accused of suppressing political opposition.
This leads to describing the standard of living of the average Russian citizen as constantly improving in economic terms, but still lacking the guarantee of security and freedom of speech.

According to his theory, human development is divided into stages, these stages are achieved due to cognitive maturation during the first years of life. <span>Each stage of development is characterized by more specialized skills, behaviors, and cognitive skills.
I hope my answer can help you.

When citizens circulate petitions and gather a required minimum number of signatures to put a policy question on a ballot it is called an initiative. Twenty-one states allow their legislatures to put referenda before the voters and give their citizens the right to place initiatives on the ballot. Five other states provide for one mechanism or the other. Eighteen states also allow the recall of state officials a means of forcing a special election for an up or down on a sitting governor or state judge. Like initiative a specified percentage of registered voters must sign a petition asking that a vote be held.
